‘No respect’ - Alain Prost "very disappointed" as he confirms Alpine F1 split

Reports♚ on Monday re🥃vealed that four-time F1 world champion Prost had left his role as non-executive director at Alpine amid an ongoing review into the team’s management structure.

"Laurent Rossi's desire is to be alone, not to be poll🌺uted by anyone.
